The UGI Tumor Board (multispecialty team conference) is held weekly to prospectively review complex patient cases. Together, the board determines the best treatment option for each patient. Among the specialties represented on this tumor board are surgical, medical and radiation oncology, pathology, gastroenterology, interventional radiology, research and genetics. As the referring physician, you are invited to attend your patient’s multispecialty team conference or any of our disease site-specific tumor boards.
